Camping!

I am leaving for our yearly women's retreat today through Sunday then coming home and leaving for my yearly retreat with 2 friends. We bring reading, sewing and writing and work alone in the mornings and then gather at 3 to talk, go to dinner and play games. It is a great time of relaxation and reflection. The Lord always speaks to my heart during this retreat. I am taking Beauty and Check as the borders are 1.5 inches off. Need to remove the checked borders and resew them-darn! But after all that work-don't want it not to be square. I am also taking Home Sweet Home to finish the pieced areas and to put the middle of the top together. See you at the end of next week!

A Writer and Quilter's Welcome

I am an English major who has enjoyed writing since high school when I won the Edna Saint Vincent Millay Poetry contest for Crawford High School. With the exception of numerous articles for various papers, I have yet to be published. I have written volumes but have not ventured into the dust jacket world as yet.

I have spoken at the Baptist General Conference twice and have done several presentations for women's teas etc. for several churches and now that my husband has had a heart transplant and is feeling better-would like to do so again. The writing that has taken a backseat to his illness can crawl behind the driver's wheel again and shift into drive. Thank-you for visiting-may God be glorified in all that is written here.

I am also an avid quilter whose mission is to write God's word or scripture references on as many quilts as possible before I am wrapped in one and sent to see my Lord. may He be magnified in my creations.
